(1) DSLs work great sometimes. See https://www.jooq.org/

(2) Elastic Load Balancer is a control loop responsive to workloads, that kind of thing is a commodity

(3) Under-provisioning is rampant in most industries; see https://erikbern.com/2018/03/27/waiting-time-load-factor-and... and https://www.amazon.com/Goal-Process-Ongoing-Improvement/dp/0...

(4) Anomaly detection is not inherently a problem of distributed systems like the others, but someone facing the problems they've been burned with might think they need it. Intellectually it's tough.
